MODISK.DMD

MO device manager driver from Fujitsu.

DEVICE=MODISK.DMD

Parameters

/Rn or /R:n

(Number of reserved drives) 'n' is a number between 1 and 10. Default is 1. A series of logical drive names can be reserved for each MO drive for future partitioning. If the number of valid partitions exceeds the number specified /R option, and if /S option is not specified, up to 16 partitions are allowed.

/S

(Reserved drive priority) No more logical drives than the number of /R option is assigned. When the number of reserved drives specified with the /R option is fewer than the number of valid partitions on a disk, the number of reserved drives takes priority. For example, if there are four valid partitions on the disk and the number of reserved drives is specified at 3, a logical drive name cannot be assigned to the fourth partition, and hence it cannot be accessed.

/I {h:} m {[n]} {+-{h:} m {[n]}}+-...

(Specify the drive ID) This parameter specifies the target MO drive by the host adapter number and SCSI-ID number. If this option is not used, all accessible MO drives are used by default. h is the host adapter number (between 0 and 9). The default is 0. m is the SCSI-ID number (0 to 7). n is the number of reserved drives. When 'n' is omitted, the value specified with the /R option is used.

/U:{IDE adapter name}

(Required, specify IDE adapter driver) This parameter is not optional but required both for ATAPIMO.FLT and MODISK.DMD. You must specify same name for these two drivers. Usually '/U:ST506_HardDrive' works fine if 'IBM1S506.ADD' or 'IBM2S506.ADD' is used as IDE adapter driver.

Platform Support:

MODISK.SYS

Magneto Optical Device Driver. / FUJITSU 3.5 / 5 Magneto Optical Disk Driver for OS/2 2.1, 3.0.

DEVICE=MODISK.SYS

Disk Types Supported

3.5 inch MO disk
Sector size: 512 bytes or 2048 bytes
Capacity: 128 MB, 230 MB, 540 MB or 640 MB

NOTE: When using MODISK.SYS you have to delete or REM OPTICAL.DMD (Warp 4) or OPTICAL.SYS (Warp 3) NOTE: There is also a MODISK.SYS for SCSI by Fujitsu who supports also 1.3 GB drives. For Parameters see MODISK.DMD

NOTE: Better use the /of switch together with OS2DASD.DMD (or DANIDASD.DMD). In this case make shure that the MODISK.SYS is not loaded.
